Description
"The moon sets," Kaa said. "Is there yet light enough to see?"From the walls came a moan like the wind in the tree-topsβ "We see, O Kaa."
"Good. Begins now the danceβthe Dance of the Hunger of Kaa. Sit still and watch."
Kaa and the Bandar-log (c) Rudyard Kipling

I can't stop looking at the details on the monkies...each one has a different personality, a different face. Your color palette, though not typical jungle, perfectly depicts tropical heat. I'm so glad I stumbled across this I'm off to check out he rest of your gallery
Great job!!--AG

Amazing. The amount of detail on the snake and the monkey's is really astounding. The golden light symbolises a number of things for me, not only the fact that Kaa is now their new king, but it is the end of day's for some of them and their era. Of course, it just looks beautiful, also.
+Favourites.

Woah, lot's of monkeys. And well painted monkeys too. Not to mention the lovely work on the snake's scales too. I'm very impressed that you painted this with traditional mediums; it's all very detailed. It's been a while since I've seen something like this that hasn't been digital. You must know what you're doing. ^^
It's been so long since I've read this book; I should go back and read it again soon, maybe. Anyway, very well done.
